Text:Family Blessings

271. Family Blessings

1 O happy man, whose soul is fill'd
With zeal and reverent awe!
His lips to God their honors yield,
His life adorns the law.

2 A careful providence shall stand
And ever guard thy head,
Shall on the labors of thy hand
Its kindly blessings shed.

3 Thy wife shall be a fruitful vine;
Thy children, round thy board,
Each, like a plant of honor, shine,
And learn to fear the Lord.

4 The Lord shall thy best hopes fulfil,
For months and years to come;
The Lord who dwells on Zion's hill
Shall send thee blessings home.

5 This is the man whose happy eyes
Shall see his house increase,
Shall see the sinking church arise,
Then leave the world in peace.
